The staff is super friendly & helpful. We showed up & check-in was quick & easy. The bus took us to the launch point where we got our life jackets & boats. The equipment wasn't brand new but it was in great condition & worked perfectly. The employees at the launch ramp were very organized! The ride along the River has incredible views! It was relaxing & a lot of fun! The other renters were all friendly too! The river was high enough to where we didn't have to get out & walk (we grounded out a time or two) & we even had a couple spots where we picked up some speed! I wouldn't call it white water but we had small rapids!! This was a blast!! It's quite safe while still being a thrilling day adventure!

I immediately told someone with River Rats when we finished our trip. They assured me they would take care of it in court but later texted me they couldn't do that. They sent me money to cover most of the cost and I had to get fingerprinted and my mugshot taken. Learned the hard way that it's against the law to paddle on a river without a life jacket. Beautiful views on the Duck River though!

It is kind of in the middle of nowhere but the prettiest middle of nowhere. There are lot of beautiful fields on the way there. We rented canoes and floated on the shortest route but it was a perfect amount of time. There is a waiting area for those that might not want to participate in the water activities which is great! The staff were really Nice and accommodating. The start of the river is really close to the office which is Nice and once you are done you get picked up in a cool bus anddddd you can also write whatever you want on the bus!! The second best part was seeing the cows from the cow sanctuary bathing in the river! Would 100% go back!

Absolutely Outstanding Tennessee State Park - A True Hidden Gem!…read more We just wrapped up an unforgettable evening at Henry Horton State Park, and it easily earns every one of its five stars. Located along the beautiful Duck River--one of the most biodiverse rivers in the world--this park offers the perfect mix of relaxation, adventure, and family fun without feeling overcrowded. The campground is top-notch: spacious, well-maintained RV sites with concrete pads, reliable Wi-Fi, clean and modern bathhouses, and plenty of peaceful wooded tent and primitive options (including some great backcountry sites for those seeking more solitude). We loved the thoughtful amenities like the camp store, playgrounds, splash pad, and even a nature play area that kept the kids entertained for hours. Activities here are incredibly diverse. We hiked several of the easy-to-moderate trails, including the scenic ones along the Duck River with observation decks overlooking wetlands teeming with wildlife. The 18-hole disc golf course is one of the best we've played in Tennessee--free and well-designed. Golfers will appreciate the championship Buford Ellington Golf Course right on site, while paddlers and anglers flock to the river for kayaking, fishing, or lazy tubing. Bonus points for the trap and skeet range if you're into shooting sports! The on-site restaurant (Governor's Table) serves surprisingly delicious meals, making it easy to grab breakfast or dinner without leaving the park. Staff and rangers were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the park--always quick to offer tips or help. Whether you're camping, staying in one of the comfortable cabins or lodge rooms, or just coming for a day trip, Henry Horton delivers a peaceful, well-kept escape that's perfect for families, couples, or solo adventurers. It's close enough to Nashville (under an hour) but feels like a true getaway. We can't wait to return--highly recommend for anyone in Middle Tennessee looking for quality outdoor recreation.

Stayed here for two nights for a stop over headed to Townsend Tennessee…read more Upon receiving the email, there is a laundry list of rules. I have literally been all over the world, and this was more rules than I have ever seen somewhere in my life. Being that it was Easter weekend, we did not really come in contact with the front office, so all of the abundance of rules did not really have any effect on us at this particular visit. All of the sites are extremely close together, so be sure to say hi to your neighbor anytime you go outside. Overall, not many places to stay in the area, but this is OK for a night or two.

The features include WIFI, picnic area, fire pit, pet waste station, dumpster, playground, vending machine, bathhouse and laundry. The space was very private and extremely quiet/clean. We paid about $60 for a night which was definitely on the higher end but we get the features as part of the cost. The location is right off of I-65 highway and isn't too big of a detour. The only minus here is RV campers aren't allowed to use the bathrooms since cabins do not have one and the bathrooms are exclusively allocated to cabin customers. That definitely is a deterrent since the idea of an RV spot is also to pay and use shower/bath services.

Not only is this the best farm I've ever been to, it is the most life changing thing I have ever…read moreexperienced. I met someone there, someone very special, who goes by the name Roman. Roman Wade to be exact. If you've ever been to Lucky Ladd Farm and didn't meet Roman Wade, you missed out on one of the greatest human experiences the place has to offer. This isn't just a review. This is a tribute -- to a man whose presence turns a simple farm visit into something unforgettable. Roman Wade doesn't just run the cash register -- he runs the room. With a smile that could outshine the Tennessee sun and a vibe so genuinely warm it makes sweet tea taste bitter in comparison, Roman instantly makes every guest feel like family. Kids adore him, parents trust him, and coworkers look up to him. He's got the rare talent of making a transaction feel like a conversation you've waited all week to have. Then there's the gem mining station. Roman doesn't just help you sift through dirt -- he helps you uncover treasure. Whether it's the look in a kid's eyes when they find their first ruby or the way he hypes up a glittering quartz like it's the Hope Diamond, Roman brings joy to every moment. He makes everyone -- everyone -- feel like they struck gold. Behind the scenes, he's just as good. Dependable. Hardworking. Kind. He's the type of guy who shows up early, stays late, helps others without being asked, and treats every guest like they're the reason the farm exists. You can tell he doesn't just work at Lucky Ladd -- he believes in it. And that belief shows up in everything he does. In a world full of average service and forgettable interactions, Roman Wade is a rare gem -- authentic, joyful, and full of heart. He is the heartbeat of Lucky Ladd Farm, and once you've met him, you'll understand why people don't just leave with pumpkins or rocks -- they leave with memories, stories, and the lasting impression of a man who made their day better. Roman Wade isn't just good at his job. He's legendary.

This is a family park and family's gotta use the bathroom. They only have port o John's. That's fine for a county fair but for a year round experience they should have more options. Also they only have 1 way out in the parking lot to use until you check in. The line during the fall is massive and 1 doesn't cut it. I love the animals but it felt a bit more tiger king to me at points. I didn't understand the other non farm animals. The reservation system while in practice is nice needs work. We went during a busy time of year and didn't know we had to make a reservation until we got to the front of the line. That was 30 minutes in the heat with 3 toddlers. I get that it is on their website but it is not will shown. We heard multiple people also complain that they came and couldn't get in. Maybe a sign in the parking lot, reservations required with a QR code. I wouldn't make the the drive. But your kids most likely would like it.
